This will also open doors for further discussions on the best practice approaches for addressing those challenges.
Dr Barnali Das, Consultant- Biochemistry & Immunology, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Mumbai conducted a workshop on ‘Lean Six Sigma-How to cut the extra flab from your lab platter.’ The workshop encompassed adoption of verification/validation protocol and Lean-Six Sigma to reduce errors and improve the lab efficiency. It proved to be beneficial to laboratories as Lean Six-Sigma system can help labs achieve a number of objectives- reduce time traps, eliminate non-value-added steps, focus on the value added steps, and reduce complexity in the workflow process.
Dr Das who holds a Green Belt in Six Sigma has already conducted this workshop as American Association of Clinical Chemistry (AACC) University’s short course in 2015 and 2016. Infact the course was identified as the Best AACC course to be circulated in the Middle East and other countries.
